🧵Lebanon Update 4.24.26

Summary:
- IDF Raids Dibbine / North Marjaayoun
- Demolition Activity in Houla and Bint Jibel
- IDF Enters At Tiri
- Clearing Activity along the coast

More Info Below⏬ x.com/Stinky91584609…Image
Sentinel-2 images confirm that the IDF conducted a raid on the village of Dibbine just before the ceasefire.

It is highly likely that they withdrew from the area now that the ceasefire came into effect, however it is still unclear. Image
The IDF entered At-Tayri for the first time, with demolition activity visible on S2.

Looking east, a large expansion of demolition ops is clear in in the city of Bint Jibel, a former Hezbollah Stronghold.

Other clearing activity spotted in Hanine/Rchaf. Image

If you know me, you know that I like retro connectivity! Recently I picked up this most excellent WiRSa v3 (WiFi to Serial Adapter) from RetroDisks. It provides many ways to get online. Let's go through them and talk about my experiences with this device in a 🧵 here! Image
Image
Image
Image
So, first, from the first post, you saw a picture of the device. I pulled that from the GitHub page that explains how to use this thing. You can find it here: github.com/nullvalue0/WiR…Image
Alright, let's explore. So, when you get the device, the first thing you get to do is configure WiFi! You can either do that the manual way, or the automated way. This device is smart enough to detect nearby networks, which is pretty stellar! Image

I absolutely hate when people just related Aryabhatt to zero only. I mean he wrote a entire book and surely there was not only 'zero' there. So, I am writing this thread to shutdown this non-sense for once and all. 🧵
1/9 In his text Aryabhatiya, Aryabhata calculated π to be 3.1416, which is accurate to four decimal places. He wrote "Add four to 100, multiply by eight, and then add 62,000. By this rule the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 20,000 can be approached."
2/9 Remarkably, he used the Sanskrit word "āsanna" (meaning "approaching"), suggesting he intuitively knew π was an irrational number—over 1,200 years before Europe proved it!

Kachagolla Kotha 🧵😋
Subtle, simple & elegant this close dry sibling of Roshogolla has been celebrated across ages, with a dedicated royal following from Rani Bhabani to Queen Victoria, hailed among the best of Bengal's sweet platter, from Rabindranath to Sanjeev Kapoor ! Image
carrying even a partition shift in its journey too. The thrilling trace of Kachagolla has its own legacy!
Historically, finest Kachagolla is said to have originated & popularised from Natore, as legend say, later spread to Bongaon as its hub in Bengal with a partition connect. Image
The origin story of Natore’s Kachagolla too isn’t very different from Jobhora or Roshogolla, much coincidental wonder to say. The origin story is tied to a century-old sweet shop run by Madhusudhan Pal in Natore, when one day his workers were absent. Image

@ghostlytom @Excellentsalvic Sin, guilt, and freedom. Ever since Adam and Eve sinned, disaster has taken its course. Yet redemption is already hinted at.

"Genesis 3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."
@ghostlytom @Excellentsalvic Jesus Christ, who was both God and man, knew no sin and gave his life as a sacrifice for us, so that we might be saved. John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:36 Looking
@ghostlytom @Excellentsalvic back at Jesus as he passed by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!" John 2:2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

@BarackObama @NYCMayor 1/8 THANK you President Obama, for your STEADFAST efforts and desire to make this world a better place to live in, and Mayor Mamdani, for keeping your promise to your people to provide daycare, something Donald Trump says we don't have the money for
2/8 right BEFORE he asks Congress for BILLIONS of dollars more to support his destructive war with Iran, which has started an energy crisis not just for the U.S., but for the ENTIRE globe. You and your wife Michelle President Obama NEVER stopped serving the American people once
3/8 you left the WH, and are STILL supporting essential services for us. We THANK you for your tireless efforts, and owe you and Michelle a DEBT of gratitude. Watching you two in that classroom having fun with schoolchildren was heartwarming, the entire classroom full of tiny,

Read this carefully.

Yesterday the Department of Justice arrested a Green Beret named Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He bet thirty-three thousand dollars on a classified military operation he helped plan. He won four hundred and nine thousand dollars. He tried to hide the money. He got caught. Now he is charged with five federal crimes.

That is the headline. That is the news.

I want to tell you what is going to happen next 🧵Image
When the President of the United States was asked about the arrest yesterday, he was sitting in the Oval Office. Reporters asked him what he thought about an active-duty soldier using classified information to make four hundred thousand dollars on a betting site.
His response, in his own words, was this:

"That's like Pete Rose betting on his own team."

Pete Rose was a baseball player. He was banned from baseball for life in 1989 for betting on his own team while playing for and managing the Cincinnati Reds. For decades, Pete Rose was the most famous example in American sports of a man who broke the most basic rule of his profession.

1/6 Not me. I wouldn't want him to be confirmed as the next Fed Chair either, which is the position he is trying to obtain. How sad to see someone who used to be an honorable man turn into the next sock puppet to Donald Trump, and who will fold to his demands as he is being used
2/6 day in and day out. As for me, if I would have been the Committee Chairman in charge of the hearing I would have IMMEDIATELY gaveled the hearing closed after Mr. Warsh REFUSED to answer such EASY fucking question he was asked, one being...whether Joe Biden won the 2020
3/6 election or not. Marsh wouldn't even answer such a SIMPLE question, instead tap dancing around, ending in a smart ass answer, knowing if he answered truthfully he would piss Trump off. As well he would not answer a question about the 100 million in investments that he REFUSED

🚨 HISTORIC DAY / NIGHT 🚨

Yeah, it has happened, folks.

Tonight is a HISTORIC night in daily tracking polling.

It's the first time in YEARS more Republicans have identified as "Traditional Republican" than "America First / MAGA".

"America First" has HUGE lead over "MAGA" Image
Image
Before you try to equivocate with sample sizes, we're calibrated and this hasn't happened in YEARS.

We're not talking about statistical noise.

MAGA is dead.

It's the funeral procession for it.
Yes, it's representative enough to draw these conclusions and yes, it has continued all night.

This tells me the voters haven't abandoned the cause, they just abandoned Trump and GOPe Republicans.

Someone who cares about @realDonaldTrump needs to plead with him now to rid himself of these MAGA grifters or he will be ruined. He won't even make it until the end of his term no matter the deal he thinks he might have hatched.

Someone needs to tell the president the truth or he will be escorted out of the White House in disgrace and humiliation.Image

All of this happened around the world this week. A thread of @thewarzonewire stories. 1/10
A day after President Donald Trump ordered U.S. forces to destroy Iranian ships laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Friday said efforts to prevent mining are already underway. @haltman 2/10
The U.S. Navy has shared details about what looks to be a previously undisclosed effort to rapidly arm ships in two carrier strike groups with radar-guided Longbow Hellfire missiles to protect against drones. This reflects a larger push to expand shipboard defenses against uncrewed aerial threats, which now includes four Arleigh Burke class destroyers sailing with new launchers to fire Coyote interceptors. TWZ was first to report on the appearance of one of these launchers on the USS Carl M. Levin, with Naval News subsequently sharing more information. @FranticGoat 3/10
